Nice one our Kid. Is that a real Panda or a fluffy toy you won at a Fair?

[kidcardona]

Sorry Simon,

I am just now seeing that you posted here. That is the real deal. it is against the law in China to touch or handle a live panda. I happened to be with the provisional governor at the time and he arranged this to happen. None of the others in the group wanted to go near the panda but I figured this will be the only time or chance to do it so why not.
